Yesterday, I cooked Lechon Kawali with renowned food writer, critic, and media personality Nancy Reyes-Lumen! It was my first time to have the honor to cook with her and we used the new Philips AirFryer.

Moreover, as a testament to the power of homemade food, Philips has partnered with Ms. Nancy Reyes-Lumen for a new collection of recipes made especially for home chefs.
Entitled “Healthy Choices, Delicious Results: Easy Recipes by Nancy Lumenâ€, the cookbook demonstrates how quick and easy preparing delicious and healthy home meals can be with the help of Philips Kitchen Appliances.

In the cookbook is a wide range of wholesome, healthy, delicious recipes personally prepared by Lumen. These include starters like Sushi Rice; entrées like Oil-less, Really Crispy Adobo Flakes; fixings like Lazy Girl’s Pad Thai; desserts like Queso de Bola Muffins; and drinks like Yakult-Strawberry Smoothie and Cucumber-Ginger-Mint Mojito.

Philips Digital AirFryer & Philips Kitchen Appliances
Featured throughout the cookbook are Philips Kitchen Appliances that may be used in the preparation of the recipes, such as the Philips Food Processor, the Philips Digital Airfryer, and the Philips Electric Pressure Cooker, and the Philips Juicer, among others.
In particular, the Philips Airfryer’ which we used for cooking lechon kawali without cooking oil has a patented Rapid Air Technology lets home chefs prepare fried favorites with up to 80% less fat than conventional methods. It can also be used for roasting, grilling, and baking.
Home chefs who want to get slow-cooked taste at a fast-food pace can turn to the Philips Electric Pressure Cooker, which features a highly efficient design that retains all the flavor and nutrients in food, while giving that right amount of tenderness that everyone loves.

At the launch of the cookbook, first-time cooks like me got to see for themselves how easy preparing delicious, nutritious food is with Philips Kitchen Appliances.
“These appliances are so simple to use, a first-timer could pick them up and get great-tasting meals from the get-go,†says Reah Ronsayro, Business Development Manager for Philips Domestic Appliances.
The kitchen appliances make the preparation of the recipes a stress-free affair, as the major steps in preparing each can be accomplished using just one or two of these gadgets.
